Only a small amount of Black yarn is needed. Ch1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a st throughout. There is no right or wrong side so work both gloves the same- just turn one inside out to get a right and a left. The body of the glove starts at the index finger and is worked in rows to form the body of the glove. The thumb and part of the heart detail are added on separately afterwards. A chart for this pattern is available on our blog www.simplycrochetmag.co.uk
